Project description
New tools to preserve heritage languages
Humans have a unique form of communication: language. However, a language is more than a communication tool; it is deeply connected to the cultural background and history of the group by which it is spoken. As languages are interwoven with emotions and traditions, it is important to preserve them, particularly those at risk of disappearing as speakers die out or shift to speaking other languages. In this context, the EU-funded RISE UP project will identify good practices and develop new methods to empower endangered language communities (learners, new speakers, people who have not had the chance to learn their heritage languages, supporters and actual speakers). The project will create a set of digital tools to support the communities.
Objective
Languages have always played an important role when groups of people were living side by side. Speakers might be suppressed or take up a new language. But as much as a language says a lot about individual identity, it also carries a large reference to the culture and history of the group in which it is spoken and the cultural background. It is tightly interwoven with emotions and traditions, which are worth keeping up, as they stand for personal roots.
RISE UP interconnects all relevant knowledge actors including citizens, civil society and end users. It collects and analyses background information, it identifies good practices and develops new methods with the help and support of people being concerned and interested in the topic. Thus, RISE UP aims at the empowerment of these endangered language communities, fostering their self-confidence and overcoming past trauma. In the understanding of the RISE UP consortium these endangered language communities include learners, new speakers, people who have not had the chance to learn their heritage languages, supporters, and other interested parties as well as actual speakers.
RISE UP explores and deals with (a) Context, reasons and policies for endangered languages within Europe (b) Collecting and creating a set of tools to support local communities (c) Interconnecting relevant groups of stakeholders and (d) Involving and attracting especially young people and other stakeholders, e.g. by using digital tools.
